Project car for enthusiast, chassis and body in good condition, no welding needed. Interieur in good condition. Partially hand-painted, solid, needs technical attention on brakes and some other technical issues.
An original Dutch delivered Traction Avant is something you don't come across very often. It’s a 6-cylinder. Completely restored? No, only technically overhauled and repainted 20 years ago. It even still has the original interior! And the history is completely described.
We sold this 2cv once before in 2009. At that time it had driven 23,000 km. It has had two owners, both of whom took good care of the car in their own way.
This 2cv has been owned for 24 years by a customer of ours and before that belonged to her grandmother. It was once pampered and kept indoors. In recent years, this was no longer possible and it was slowly fading away. Sometimes things come up in your life that prevent you from paying enough attention to your precious 2cv. So we were asked if we wanted to guide it to a new happy life.
2CVs produced in Belgium always have our special attention. Especially if they were also originally Dutch delivered. The models from the factory in Vorst have nice specific details, for example in the lighting.
We regularly find nice R4s. In France, Spain or Serbia. We found this red GTL - with the smooth engine - in Belgrade in '17. We brought it here, prepared it technically and provided it with a Dutch registration. Now, 7 years and 90,000 km later, we have it back in our showroom.
In the Alps, southeast of Grenoble, near les Deux Alpes, you will find a mountain called La Meije. Also called "finger of God". Does the finger point to heaven or elsewhere?
We build our 2CVE on our EV chassis. A galvanised frame, containing the batteries. This gives it a nice low center of gravity, the extra weight presses it a little more into the springs providing more comfort.
In the spring of '61, Citroën introduced a new model between the popular 2CV and DS, the Ami 6. With the growing economy and emancipation, Citroën increasingly focused on female customers. The Ami 6 was promoted as a friend of the French ladies, with a specific “Pour Vous Madame” campaign. The brochure could easily have been for Parisian fashion, beautifully photographed and styled.
The HY could be ordered from Citroën in a number of different forms. The closed bus, which could then be extended, raised or otherwise converted by various carrossiers. The chassis cab as a basis for even more explicit expression. And the pickup, which was also often extended or covered. This is one with the standard length and without a hood.
New arrival, soon more info.
